It made great reading DPR thanks for sharing your holiday I really enjoyed being along with you all. It must have been an exhausting trip but it definitely looked like everyone had a great time. A holiday everyone will remember for ever I'm sure.

Around every picture there's a corner & round every corner there's a picture
- the fun's in finding them

Pretty much everything in commercial aviation (except Ilyushin and Antonov) over 35 years. Starting with the Convair Electra's (PSA and Eastern Airlines) then in the Military (Navy) the C130, C141, and C5A. Strictly as a MAC passenger.

I think that's pretty much it. It's taken me 3 years to go through withdrawal, and I still crave pressurized air. I love to fly.

When I lived in Silicon Valley we would go to the air shows at Moffett Field, which usually included the Blue Angels. They flew P3 Orion's, and NASA U-2's out of there, with the occasional C5A, and C141 as well. Lockheed has a large facility there as well. Since Moffett closed a few years ago I'm not sure now. Salinas has a pretty nifty fly-in and airshow, usually in Aug/Sept.

Thanx, D70fan;
Looks like you had a busy career.
Have been a passenger in DC3 & Super Costellation(1954), DC9,727,737, and a Turboprop that I don't remember.
Usually flying out of our local airport (KBGM). My Apartment house is almost on a direct line with Runway 340 about 8 miles out., so I very often see aircraft on final approach.
Sorry about hijacking this thread.
